[2206] FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF RC BEAM STRENGTHENED WITH PCM
キーワード:Polymer cement mortar、 load carrying capacity、 failure modes、 numerical model.
Polymer Cement Mortar (PCM) overlaid to the tension side surface of reinforced concrete RC structure often performs to upgrade the flexural capacity and stiffness. PCM strengthened RC structure may fail in premature debonding before yielding of rebar or upper concrete crushing. This study aims in developing a two-dimensional finite element numerical analysis in DIANA. Comparisons between analytical and experimental results confirm that this numerical approach is appropriate for estimating the load-carrying capacity and failure behavior of RC beams strengthened with PCM layer.
